Blackberry CIS Coaches Top 10 for 15 Feb 2011

My bad on the first poll published here. Below is the correct poll with Concordia in the honourable mention slot among other changes from last week. Apologies. Still, X ahead of Dal despite a recent comfortable win by the Tigers over X to sweep the season series is a tad headscratching. Other than that, UVic gets some love just in time to show it is deserving as the Vikes host #2 UBC for a pair of games in Victoria over the weeeknd.

Hey anonymous who claims the AUS is crap..how do you back up your argument? There are lots of below average teams in the OUA, West and Quebec. The top 3 teams in AUS (Cape, StFX and Dal), have matched up and can match up with the top teams in the country (the West kind of doesn't play anyone east of Manitoba, so its hard to assess their level).

Lakehead a top 7 team has lost to Dal , StFX and Acadia. Laval a top 10 team has lost to UNB and Acadia.

Acadia a average team in AUS has beaten 2 top 10 teams (granted early in the season).

If the coaches think the aus is so weak then why do they have 3 teams in the top 10? Also Uccb has #1 RPI. They deserve atleast the 3 seed so they don't have to play 4-1-2 just to win the championship.

This may be a down year overall for the AUS but their top 3 are very solid. The same can be said for all leagues, both the OUA and CW have a number of weak teams (how is RMC still playing CIS basketball?? seriously). Canada West in particular havehad top seeded teams play regularly at the Nationals with the except of last year of course.. I dont know the numbers off hand, but UBC has gone down in the first round several times despite being a top 2 or 3 seed.
